Families

Last night

Kennedy and Anaston seemed to discover each other. They were fascinated by each other. It was so cute to watch. I can't help to reflect on what cousins and family have meant in my life. As a child I loved getting to together with my cousins. I find it hard to realize now that we never see each other and when we do we don't really know each other any more so it's distant to some degree. I wish we would of been closer over the years. I think of how much my grandparents meant to me growing up and how much I have missed them since they have been gone. I compare that to the deep love I have for the six grandchildren I have and wonder if I am getting a glimpse of the love our Heavenly Father must have for each of us. I can't comprehend the love of our Savior Jesus Christ but when I think of the love I have for my family then I think that maybe I can understand in some small way. I find it comforting to know that Heavenly Father loves me. I am so thankful for families and the support we can offer each other. It has been a fun treat to have adult nieces now that can also be like best friends. I love having you all a part of my life. My dream is that Anaston, Kennedy and Haven with all the little ones left to come will love this family bond as much as I have. I can't help but think that Heaven must be like the love of one big happy family.
